An individual's experiences, identity, opinions, and more can all impact the way that they communicate. For example, the way they were raised or their current mood can dictate how they speak to people and converse.
We do not treat every situation the same in terms of what we pay attention to. We may choose to see, hear, or think about things based on our opinions and personality. Other details may be completely missed.
Interpretation is one activity done during perception. During this, we use context, compare stimuli, and personal views to interpret a situation or other's behaviors. So, both internal and external factors are taken into account.
One perception fault we have is making first-impression assumptions. Verbal and non-verbal cues are taken in and help form an opinion about someone. Although these assumptions can be accurate, sometimes they are not, which can be harmful.
Being self aware is key to making good choices for yourself and your future. Learning about your flaws, skills, and beliefs can all set you up for a more successful life. For example, this can help you choose a career you excel in, do better in school, and be more likely to have healthy relationships.
